Dollar Figure Released On Escambia Road Damage From Floods
December 26, 2009
Preliminary numbers are in…roads in Escambia County, Fla. suffered $25,000 in damage from mid-December floods.
The Escambia County Road department spent $8,000 fixing potholes and other paved road damage and another $17,000 repairing dirt roads. Dirt road repairs included grading and hauling hundreds of loads of dirt to replace washouts.
Escambia County will foot the bill for the repairs; the county did not suffer enough public infrastructure damage for the federal or state government to step in with assistance.

The sad part of this story is the part people don’t see. This bridge was repaired by cutting holes in the bridge and putting in new pilings about a year ago. This bridge should have been raised instead of being repaired. This happens every time it rains very much. The creek came out of it’s banks while they were repairing it. I personally saw the equipment they were using sitting in 2 to 3 ft. of water off the west end of the bridge at the time. I do not understand where county engineers are coming from. At the time this picture was taken, even the rails on the bridge are underwater. Janice parker
